Chapter 2 - The boring trip from Racepshi to renza
After being kidnapped by hakuren, Seina was on the Racepshi which was was traveling through hyperspace towards renza. Although the kamidake and kiriko and the rest of the girls were also aboard, he was unable to contact them and didn't know where they were.
Seina was worried about fuku most of all.
She had recently been through a lot of hard situations. but he was glad that she now had acha. lately the two had begun to remind him a lot of ryo-ohki and sasami.
"I wonder what's going on... Hakuren and her girls were so desperate to get me here... but now they've ran off and left me alone."
a call monitor came up with a chime. he answered it. Maya, the dance princess of racepshi was on the screen
"Mr.seina, I have an incoming call for you from Airi would you like to take it?"
"Yes!" Immediately Airi was displayed on the monitor.
"Howdy! you seem to be doing well seina."airi smiled making light of the situation.
"Airi what took you so long! why didn't you call me sooner?!"
"sorry, I had a lot of debriefing and paper work I had to do on the incident. but It's not like I would've been able to do anything, thanks to hakuren you're on a train through frontier space on the racepshi. There's nothing I can do for you."
"well... that's true... but still..." Seina really just wanted to complain for a bit.
"Getting them to let the Kamidake and the girls on board was trouble enough as it is."
The girls were all VIPs and the kamidake was a top secret ship. she didn't want them thinking this was some kind of planned interfederational invasion of renza.
Of course if airi had done nothing they would have been fine aboard the ship but they would never be able to leave it when seina got off.
"Even If I'm able to negotiate their passage into Renza, It's not going to be easy, it will take time since we have no diplomatic relations with them at all. Please don't do anything to jeopardize that. For now the girls and the kamidake will have to keep a low profile too while on racepshi."
"What will become of me?"
"That's up to hakuren... she probably wants to use you to rid renza of pirates. If I were you I'd go out and have a drink while you still can."
"Let me guess... now's the part where you come in and tell me you're on board and wan't me to have drinks with you?"
"hohoho this is a bit too serious of a situation for that now don't you think?" Mikami said pushing airi out of the way Since she had recently become the GP Chief commander, Seina was actually far more excited to see her then airi.
"I know this has been very confusing for you, but you'll be glad to know that you are now officially assigned on a special mission!"
"A special mission?"
"I know it's inconvenient, but we have to handle your kidnapping gracefully.We don't want to start any trouble with renza."
"Oh I see."
"So we've fudged the truth a bit about the kidnapping. you'll be under my direct supervision from now on. You'll be geting a letter briefing you on everything soon, but for now just know this is officially being treated as a dispatch mission on behalf of The GP, Airi Masaki of the academy, Washu hakubi, and the head of the Juraian Masaki family, Funaho ."
"so... this is a business trip now is what you're saying..."
"Yes, and as such you will be paid through racepshi, you can convert your money once you get there but be aware the fee's are not cheap so you may want to keep some unconverted just in case."
"I understand... but ... uhm... what about kiriko and the kamidake?"
"I can explain that."
Seto came on screen, she seemed tired, seina figured she must be the original one, he had been trying to find a way to differentiate her and the mirror.
" the girls are all invited guests too, but the kamidake... well.. it is going to have to remain a secret, I don't want to startle them and cause a war. as long as you're with hakuren though you should be fine."
"ohoho... are you sure those girls didn't just kidnap him to get away from their overbearing boss?"
"chh....... Ringo has set aside two years of paid vacation for them because those girls never take a damn break.It's not my fault! hopefully she can learn to stretch to stay for twice that since their pay has been cut in half for this ordeal... nothing i can do about that I'm afraid it's just procedure."
in other words hakuren and her girls had been conveniently given a 2 year grace period to get this over with and come back.
"hmpf anyways... that's all I have to say... ask that traitor behind you what's going on if you want more details."
Seto cut the transmission leaving airi and mikami on the line they waved goodbye and ended the call.
"That traitor behind me?"
"How awful! I'm not a traitor."seina heard from behind him, he turned around
"I just came along for the ride "♡
"Ku! Kuisu · Panta ...... why are you here!"
Kuisu came up behind him and locked her arms around him
"How did you get in my bedroom!?"
"come... let's sit and talk."
Seina tried to go sit on the one person sofa in the room but she took him and sat him down in a chaise lounge.
"Here ♡"it was still better then her taking him to the bed he figured. Kuisu took a cup of tea from a serving drone that passed by
"doesn't this remind you of when you first came into space?"
"a bit... in the sense that I've been suddenly thrust into a setting I never thought possible."
"Then you should sit back and enjoy this. There are only a few people who ever get to see both the world of the Galactic Federation and the world of Renza, even if they come here by Recepushi, they just get to look outside from here. It's the same seeing it in pictures, But you'll actually get to go there. "
"it seems like the concept of borders for me is constantly changing doesn't it?"
"yes... it certainly does... at any rate please don't be too mad with those girls, they were only doing what they thought was right. think of it as a tough lesson."
"That's one way to look at it... did seto tell you to say that? honestly, I'm just confused... but that's the normal for me."
"hehe no this time its from me... but you can think of this as an exam from us... Seina you are rare and valuable and important for this world, and you have become much more influential than we anticipated, and of course you've be come important to me as an individual too."
Kuisu pulled herself onto seina's arm. She gave off the air of a mature older seductress, compared to her allure, kiriko and gyokuren were still just girls.
"...But Seina you're still immature, you have a lack of experience in protecting yourself from those who desire to harness your value for themselves. Your power far outreaches your age and since you bear so much military force, individuals are desperate to use you, and while there are those who would rather see you sheltered from having to develop those skills I think it's best you do it quickly. "
"Is that why kiriko wanted me to stay on the earth?"
"well maybe... I wish I could have created a situation that would have allowed us to slowly wait for your growth, but your presence has accelerated the flow of the world to such an extent that we could have never imagined... in that sense I'm the one who has bad luck. "
"Ha ha ... Well that's just usual for me."
"If you had stayed in the Galactic Federation, Jurai would have been able to get the Academy to do your follow up exam early, but it's impossible now since you are in Renza."
"Follow up ... .... Exam, what is that?"
" show me what you can do here Seina, please show me what you can do in the absence of our asylum. If you can demonstrate it here, you will have achieved "Graduation"with only your own knowledge and abilities. please... do your best "
"My knowledge and abilities ... ...." seina thought about it.
"By the way, I heard that Ms. Hakuren and the rest of them are being treated as being on paid vacation ... ...."
"We knew the purpose of Hakuren and her girls since the moment they arrived. the royal family didn't care about such a trivial thing, but now it's impossible to overlook Seto's position in this they were her subordinates. Because of Hakuren 's flashy way of kidnapping you, far too many people know about it to suppress it. The act kidnapping you, one of the backbones of the Galactic Federation, is a betrayal no matter how you slice it. so in the sake of revising history. she has been put down as being on a paid vacation, the Jurai internal affairs section is convinced by that, and as for outsiders, it's the easiest way to convince them of that too. "
there were many people who saw it go down, but they were also drinking when it happened.
"Oh, so you just doesn't want to be seen as a traitor too."
"I didn't feel like sticking around...in case it didn't work out."
"it's interesting what goes on behind the scenes.... but if one of you were to go... shouldn't it be you not the original?"
"... Well, that is how it's supposed to go...but...well... it all worked out in the end so..."
regardless of who remained the other would still be in danger... but he understood seto's mad expression.
"Anyway it's not like she needs me to save her, but I'd be screwed...I'd rather be stuck with Seina, but thankfully since I'm here I can help you out."
"so you'll be helping me while i stay here?"
"yes, unfortunately it will be a while before you can see Kiriko-chan and the rest of them again. in a way this is their exam as well as Seina."
"Oh, is that so?"
"yes, a bit of advice, your situation in the future will be complicated, the boundaries between ally and enemies, including me, will be very ambiguous, so please doubt me while trusting me. as long as you are alive, be sure to protect yourself first, make sure you do things not for someone else but for yourself ... ...." Kuisu slowly rose from Seina.
"Take care Kuisu." Seina smiled
"have fun" Kuisu disappeared out of the room
"So what did they say? "
"Waaaaa!"
a monitor with Maya suddenly launched as if she had been watching him and watching. her timing was no doubt intentional.
" I have important story to tell you about the future, I am sorry, I have to tell you in person, can you come here?"
"... alright see you in a while."
Seina got up quickly.
-----------------
"That fucking hag!"Amane muttered In a luxurious room
Of course the rest of the girls were there in the same outfits as they were in during the wedding.
fuku was eating snacks And D was busy checking out Recepushi 's curry menu.
The girls were VIP Guests in racepshi's fanciest hotel. Of course, it was isolated from Seina, and the distance between them was about half a planet long.
"What is she thinking! That old hag must've been planning for this to happen from the start!"
Amane drank some soothing herbal tea angrily. After they made it onto Recepushi, she went to chase after Hakuren and was restrained by pretty dancers as soon she jumped out of the Kamidake, and they were thrown in here like prisoners. Unlike Seina, they had no means of transportation, and where unable to go out of the racepshi into space, they'd finally gotten in touch with Seto, but were told less than Seina was and so amane was very angry.
"no doubt that they knew the identity of Hakuren's group. but they couldn't have had any idea that they would kidnap Seina during the wedding."
"What's the difference! They never should have been attached as Seina's escorts!"
"Regardless we're stuck on the Recepushi now, although Seina-onichan and ZINV is different story." Neiju said
Seina was the master of 'ZINV', one of the two ancestors of the humanoids of the Renza Federation, so it was fine for him to fly it in the Renza Federation, they went together like duck and green onions. but Seina was the onion and ZINV was the duck.
"It seems that ZINV has been requested to be handed over informally from Renza before."
"Wait! so your saying that if he had gone after them on zinv we wouldn't be stuck here?"
Miki was also drinking herbal tea Angrily. Of course, her body now had the same level of biological defense functions as Fuku, tea did nothing pharmacologicly speaking but it's fragrant scent and taste calmed her.
also Miki felt "Well, It's free so why not!?"
"Taking that thing out on rampage chase after the Recepushi itself would have been a problem."
Kiriko quietly said she was on her fifth herbal tea.
"You say that so calmly... but your sure slamming back tea... "
"Miki you're a graduate of the GP Academy, you know I'm right."
"Don't you trust Hakuren, Amane, why are you angry?"
"I'm mad at that old hag not her. Either way, It's going to be a pain in the ass for us to find seina here... and the kamidake is useless to us. oh well... I guess We should be patient and just enjoy this place, it's an entertainment planet, lets have fun."
"hahaha... ... I would but I am afraid of getting used to luxury!" miki said, because she was funded by her father,
"I agree ... ... It's a horrible trap to fall into." kiriko also didn't want to because she was afraid of seina's bias making something bad happen with the money.
" I'd rather enjoy sightseeing Recepushi on my honeymoon ..."
"chh... They better not lay a finger on him... Those hussies ! Amane grasped her fist in angry
"Don't you trust them?"
"Not in that area!"
Even though Seina's body was safe, his chastity was not guaranteed.
"IF THEY DO THAT I'LL KILL THEM!" Kiriko said with radiant murderous intent.
Acha and Fuku were eating sweets, and D was crazy about curry, so they didn't seem to notice. However the others were terrified by this.
Knock Knock.
The door opened and makihi bowed and came in.
Is there anything I can help you with?..... oh did I come at a bad time?.... your going to have to keep your temper in check here miss. Hide everything under the mask of a smile, that is our motto here the on Recepushi."
"Ahahahahaha...... Oh no kiriko here is just acting out a play... pay her no mind."
"It's not an act!"
"... Oh... is she is a stage performer, what's the role?"makihi knew it wasn't but wouldn't have hesitated to make kiriko a spectacle for the guests.
"It's not an act!"
"Damn ... ... are you sure about that?"
"We have everything we need mam. you can leave."Neiju interjected to try to end the derailed conversation.
"If you like we have a stage you can practice on."
"I want to beat the guy who is writing the script."
"It seems to me like there is no script. it's a scenario-free drama and dare i say, isn't Mr. Yamada's probability bias the director?" Makihi said Kiriko gave a big sigh
"... ... can you at least explain the situation to us?"
"Of course I can." makihi said
--------
They moved their conversation to the veranda.
"Ok first off Who are Hakuren and the other 3."
That was the question that Kiriko had always felt like asking. Of course she had some guesses, but there were still some things that she didn't understand.
"As you've probably guessed, Kiriko, they aren't just secret agents from Renza."
"So their people in high positions over there?"
"Yes, the Renza Federation is largely divided into five groups:
Hikuren 's country,
Karen - sama country,
Suiren - sama' s country,
Gyokuren - sama 's country,
and The Kaou family's Commonwealth, each country has a royal family they are all in a political stale mate with each other or have an alliance. "
"There are only five countries ? "
"Wait so are they ... ...."
"Ms. Hakuren is the first princess of the amber cavelry Kingdom, her real name is lady Shirohana Renne kihaku
(google translates: 白花・ 蓮音・騎珀 White Flower, Lotus root , amber cavalry)
"Oh She's royalty!? And in the direct line of succession?" Kiriko was surprised
she had guessed that they came from a noble family from from their gossip, but she hadn't imagined they would be so high up in the ranks
"Ms Karen is the 3rd daughter of the King of the kasen Kingdom
Lady shien rengoku kasen ( glowing wings,brick, Brigade, fire spring),
Mr. Suiren is the Fifth Princess of the King of the Suire (green spirit)
Lady Minamo Rensou Suire
The one you know as Gyokuren is the only one who is a queen.... or at least she should have been crowned one..
"No way! Gyokuren is a queen?"
"To be precise, she is the King's Thirteenth Princess"
" the first child doesn't inherit the throne?"
"That country has a somewhat.... special inheritance system ... ...."
----------13 is unlucky...---------------
Makihi said Kiriko felt there was an amusing story behind that she wan't telling her.
"Special hmm... so why hasn't she been crowned"amane asked Kiriko and others nodded.
amane wondered if it was due to the thing that had caused Gyokuren's urge to attack Seina that she had demonstrated before.(GXP 5).
"At this stage, although she hasn't been crowned yet, it's been decided that she has inherited the throne, although in principal her status was abandoned when she left for the Galactic Federation."
"why?"
"I don't know, her real name is 心珠shinjyu 蓮鎖 Rensa 磨玉 makyoku
(heart jewel, lotus chains, polished jewels)
if crowned she will inherit the name last of masui 磨水(polished water)
"I expected something like that but never that one of them would be a queen!"
"why doesn't she act like one?"
"shit ......I'm not even going to touch that subject with a 10 foot pole."
"Even so, it's a brave story that 3 princesses and a future queen left to infiltrate the Galactic Federation by themselves."
"i wonder if someone put them up to it?"
"It was definitely hakuren's own doing."
"but wouldn't that put their positions in jeopardy?"
"There's no doubt that it was a violation of their orders, they left without permission"
"yeah and you helped them do it."
"shit, we just took them aboard as guest for an extended stay, we didn't know what they were doing during it, we're Recepushi, a social place for ladies and gentlemen to have fun"
In other words, space vegas, and they didn't give a shit what people did as long as they weren't causing problems.
"Well are your willing to do anything about this? You're responsible after all!"
"Of course, we will but not at our own risk, if we let you travel out of here it would cause a massive uproar." A large screen was launched showing a tremendous number of spacecraft running around Recepushi.
"Currently, Recepushi has five port sections, filled with many leading aristocrats, large companies, and other ships."
"...... You can't help but stick out. the Kamidake has a special shape"
As soon as they went out people would panic just from the energy to mass ration it emitted.
" Are we being detained ... ... Or arrested."
"No. No. We're neutral, Recepushi is an extraterritorial ship, as I mentioned earlier, we can't have any trouble here."
"In other words, do you mean to say you're not willing to stop the princesses from making a triumphant return?"
"Some forces are beyond our control."
"...... how annoying ... they why did you let Hakuren get to the federation in the first place, you can't help us but you coming to Galactic Federation on a smuggling mission is ok? now thanks to you they're being deprived of Seina, because of his anti-pirate abilities"
"but they came there before he even went into space!"
"What would they have done in jurai if he hadn't shown up? "
"Just what you'd expect."
" a royal Tree ?... .... i don't know if that's bold or reckless ... .... they'd have to spend centuries just trying to get into the royal family to get one..."
"so you knew that was impossible and had no reason to not let Hakuren come aboard... but you didn't think it was odd they had no escorts or anyone else with them?"
"renza has military organizations centered in each of the five nations although they're working together, they don't have a wide reaching organization that can cover the whole area like the GP."
"hmm I can see how that could be a problem for fighting pirates..."
"yes it's a problem, but there was no immediate urgency to fix it."
"What, why?"
" Like amane said Hakuren-sama, had a long-term plan, Royal trees are not an easy thing to get and that was their original objective."
"Jeeze ... hiding your identity, and pretending to be a normal citizen, and trying to become royalty, it wasn't impossible, but it was certainly a plan with a probability of working that was close to zero"
"Well there are people like Noike and Mashisu, so it makes sense they went to work under Seto."
"Even then, they'd have to successfully build up their list of achievements, and live in Jurai and that would take hundreds of years ... ... Oh, that's it!
Kiriko glared at Makihi, and Makihi smiled to respond.
In other words, it didn't matter if they let them in or not as long as seto knew. Their plan had failed the moment Hakuren came to Recepushi,and once they went to Seto it was done. but Hakuren her self probably didn't know that.
"That fucking old hag had them dancing in the palm of her hand!" amane said angrily
"Seto was going to get around to helping, but not for a while... Seina's finding of zinv must have caused hakuren to accelerate her plans. "
It was a 1st generation tree after all.
"unfortunately it seems like the situation over there has gotten worse much quicker then they expected. so their actions weren't in vain. it seems a lot of pirates have fled the galaxy federation for renza and there has been an increasing amount of giant pirate owned heavenly class humanoid weapons."
"heavenly class?"
"its the name of a class of the humanoid weapon. the class name changes with body height and energy output, the ranks are roughly...
軽騎 Weak Knights (Keiki)
地騎 Earthly Knights (Chiki)
水騎 Aquius Knights (Mizuki)
天騎 Heavenly Knights (Tenki)
Normally there are 4 classes,Seina's ZINV, Although it's a Heavenly class in terms of size, it would be called a 神騎 Godly Knight (Kamiki) because of it's total strength. "
"I heard from rumors that in renza, large-scale humanoid weapons such as ZINV were normal, but since we had no diplomatic relations with Renza, we didn't know the details of it."
"even as a pirate I didn't get much information on it from our side, the pirates on the Galactic Federation side were never interested in humanoid weapons in the first place."Ryoko balta said
"they're inefficient and unpractical why are they the normal there.... kiriko... you've seen how they'd operate don't you understand?" Amane said referring to the Mech TV shows that they had watched when they went to Seina's home.
"Even on earth we think their cool looking but don't try to make them because they're impractical."
"humanoid weapons, especially gigantic weapons are treated as symbolic beings, humanoid infantry soldiers are called" armored horses ""
"Symbolic existence ... ... so I was right the humanoid weapons popularity is unnatural, but if it it's a symbolic thing It makes sense..."
For example, costumes and the like are more important in appearance than in terms of functions, costumes for ceremonial occasions are a good example. Many of those can't be said to be very practical.
"Is it a religious thing?"
"Well, the humanoid weapons in renza are believed to have originated from the origins of the prehistoric civilization itself, thanks to the info we now know from ZINV-sama and D-san's discovery, It had became absolute faith recently .
thirty thousand years ago they were found in the ruins of an ancient prehistoric civilization in a wide open area where many humanoid weapons were discovered, along with it they found gigantic weapons known as "the original five Holy Knights " and 5 Royal tree seeds .... "
"royal Tree seeds?"
"Now it's not surprising that ZINV exists, but ... do the 5 countries have anything to do with that?"
"Yes, those who became the masters of the five third-generation trees and those who manipulated the "the original five Holy Knights" became the Founders of each royal family they are known as the Five Heroes who built the foundation of Renza.
The name Kamiki or Godly Knight is only used to refer to the original five Holy Knights, and now the third generation tree seeds are located in the capital with each royal family's nation where they serve to give birth to next generation of trees."
"so the 3rd generation is the highest level they have? ... well you can still use it as a weapon,but it's not the best idea to do that"
Jurai's royal ships served only as a deterrent to fighting, and only once before by unknown means the shank guild was able to bypass their defenses and defeat one. they hadn't done well with aggressive fighting in the past like when the Mikagami first engaged in combat.
"But why then did Hakuren go to the Galactic Federation? If there are royal Trees here, there's no reason right?"
"wait... did you say that there were pirates with humanoids of the heavenly class?"
"In other words, Royal trees are siding with the pirates?"
"More than that, there must be something creating the royal Trees that are siding with the pirates."
The distribution of super weapons was frightening.
They were like nuclear weapons and were likely to destroy the environment around them as they tried to destroy themselves.
"that's bad it's worse then what tarrant was up to. but if they age fix the royal tree's in the humanoids... how are they reproducing so many of them?"
"The germination rate of the trees depends on the generation, and it increases as the generations increase."
"the highest level currently in operation is the fourth generation, there are not many used, the fourth generation trees are almost always used as parent trees that produce the next generation from what i hear. "
"so the main threat is 5th generation trees? ... well even a fifth generation, has enough power to run small scale planetoid battleship in an always battle ready state."
"Kiriko, how many generations can be used for battle?"
"If they are ZINV class constructs, perhaps... to the Eighth ... ... I think it should be effective until the ninth generation, after that there should be technical level issues, they could still be used like normal power reactors I guess"
"Nevertheless the heavenly knights which are the with the highest powered ones have less than 300 units registered in the whole federation It's frightening that the pirates are getting their hands on that level of humanoids"
"That's not a small number. I wonder how they're getting them. maybe someone on the inside is giving them away"
"Is it possible that the pirate found another royal Tree ... ... If that was the case it would make sense that Hakuren would want to take Seina after he became the master of ZINV."
With a 1st gen tree and the kamidake mass amounts of 5th generations wouldn't stand a chance.
"regardless if royal Trees are involved, we should gather as much information as possible on this"
"well since the discovery of the First five, they've been searching for the ancestors of those tree's .there have been many generations of families who searched, and their exploration records were always popular reading... but now thanks to D, we have a rather detailed record of everything up to the beginning of the prehistoric civilization and in particular the details of the ancestors of the seiki of Renza, so the boom the search has heated up, but from the records ... .... "
"There was another Founder , AHRA right? ...... It was called the next generation mother and it was used to give birth to more second generations, wasn't it?"
-----------AHRA might be pronounced AHuRa like miss ahura from startrek... or Ahura Mazda from zoroastianism.... like how ZINV is JIN Bu (in Japanese J is also Z) -------------
Kiriko turned her eyes towards D who has taking a break after eating curry.
"Yes, but that was in the process of building the civilization that came before the founding of the prehistoric civilization, I don't know what happened to it, and ZINV and I had already fallen asleep in the early days of that, so I don't know what happened after that. "
"It seems that all of the original five found in renza seemed to have been time-frozen and sealed in the seed state, so AHRA, as well as the other second generation haven't been found. It seems that there were no such records of them existing in the ruins.When the first five were found, they were also severely aged, they were ill equipped for battle, their data logs were very lacking because the material the data was stored on had deteriorated, and since they were made for combat in the first place, there was no history related data on them. "
"well up until a certain era we didn't use large humanoid weapons.The first one we made was ZINV we only made it into a humanoid weapon because we crashed on an early civilization planet, we used it to help avoid conflict with the natives, that is to say, we made it into an idol for intimidation purposes so they would see it as a god "
"oh!" everyone concentrated on D" you made contact with a early civilization?"
"In our time there was no law prohibiting it. all living things have hostilities and fears against strangers, moreover those who occupied the land probably wouldn't have accepted us.In order to do that we used an easy to recognize symbol to force them to, the will of God, by manipulating their since of awe we were able to avoid unnecessary fighting. It was very effective. "
"oh so that explains the human shape."
"In early civilizations, huge statues and natural formations are likely to be viewed as subjects of faith, we figured it would give us the upper hand."
"In other words, the settlers chose coexistence, not wiping out the indigenous people."
"Yes, our numbers were small and we had evolved enough to coexist with other parties."
After that, D did not mention that the same settlers on that planet fought with each other and ended up dividing into two groups who fought each other to the death.
"oh wow... who would have guessed that the origins of the large humanoid weapons started in such an unexpected way, but ... D, are you sure there wasn't anyone else with royal Trees? Because there were five original Holy Night remnants,isn't that odd? "
"uhm... Kiriko ... how long do the Trees live in the first place?"
"they can reproduce themselves, if there's no damage then... about an eternity, but what happened once you got to that place, D?"
in ZINVs records, there were many facts that could not be immediately announced, which also includes things related to the royal Trees.
"in the first place we tried to immigrate a planet of the in the early stages of civilization because there was a fight brought about by a big power struggle, Although I don't know how that struggle resolved, at the very least that civilization we left collapsed, then, when we finally went back into space again we didn't find any royal trees, perhaps those like AHRA died in that war, they probably got involved in it.
".... kiriko if the tree's are killed in battle ... do they regenerate? "
"It never really happens... but I doubt they would be able to if their opponent was another tree..... that's horrible though it's like making sibling kill each other.."
----we know they do when they are normaly killed thanks to ryuoh and the original J----
Kiriko was terribly disgusted when thinking about her ship, mitsuki doing that. To begin with, the trees hated fighting... it was abominable to her that someone would make them fight each other.
she wondered why tsunami would create two lines of trees like she did if she knew they could end up fighting like that.
"As you said earlier, when you first went back into space, there weren't any other Trees, and no sign of AHRA, but those third generation seeds remained, did you discover them? "
"Yes ... oh thank you" Kiriko laughed a bit as D got distracted by a drone coming in to give her more curry.
"Anyway Seina is also worried about how to handle things with ZINV, I wander what hakuren is planning? "
"if Hakuren's girls can take leading positions in the Renza Federation's governmental meetings every thing should be ok. but who know's what will happen at this stage But I'd say for now he's probably safe wouldn't you? "
with the Kamidake and the 2nd generation Tree fused with it, they had the ability to crash through the countries defenses and rescue seina and zinv if they had to... even if it was as a last resort... after all it would start a war.
"I think i have an idea about what Hakuren is thinking." Makihi displayed a plane on a huge monitor.
"What's this?"
"The solar system located near the center of the Renza Federation space, there is a planet there called " TERA "
"Tera?"
